Kappa Biriyani / Ellum Kappayum(Tapioca and Beef Mix)

This tapioca and beef fusion is a delicious fast food from Kerala especially from the middle part and a fast moving item in the small eateries called thattukada ...In thattukada, it is served by garnishing with chopped onions on top..

For me, it is my all time favourite food which keeps my nostalgic memories of my childhood in it's peak point.My brother was a usual visitor in our nearby thattukada for having this..And when he came back with a big stomach full of this kappa biryani, he had a usual practice of smelling his hands to us(the poor sisters).Oh....when our noses caught this smell,our hunger had reached to its maximum and we started begging him...Sometimes , he conquered in front of our begging,and sometimes not...
